"Alas, it's really old."

Detling looked at the rocket frame in front of him, which had only seen its prototype in a few days, and looked at the talents from all countries gathered in the space base, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

The world is changing just too fast.

When did the four of them become intimate, almost unreserved, they took out their respective technologies and studied aerospace technology together.

The top four countries on the earth are now coming together to cooperate sincerely, which is undoubtedly the most powerful project in scientific research on the entire planet.

In addition, the initial use of epoch-making meteorite material.

Judging by the current progress.

In a few days, a rocket with a mining vehicle will be sent directly to the moon.

And all of this has to start with the meeting half a month ago.

……

Detrin Darlacliffe, Director of the Security Bureau of the Bear Nation's Emergency Formation.

Previously, he was a senior leader in the KGB, working in the world's most powerful superpower.

Now approaching the age of seventy, he once again took command and became the director of the Security Bureau established by Xiong Guo in response to the drastic changes in the international situation.

However, it was only after he actually took office that Detling realized that he was a little outdated.

Maybe I haven't worked for 20 years and I'm really slacking off, or maybe I'm really old when I'm about to turn 70.

Regarding the current international situation, he found that he did not understand something.

Confusing, changeable.

The strange trend of the international situation once made him feel as if he had returned to the bipolar pattern of confrontation and hegemony at the beginning.

If you have to describe it, Detling feels that there is an oppressive atmosphere in the world right now.

This oppression is like the calm before the storm.

It is like a lake with turbulent undercurrents underneath and calm on the surface.

Dull, dim, calm......

But there is an unstoppable undercurrent.

In particular, the recent abnormal foreign policies and domestic changes in China, Europa, and the United States really made him a little confused.

Although the international situation in the past was not so easy for people to understand, the current international situation is indeed very special, as if it ......

Something big is coming.

However, Detlin, as head of the Security Bureau, knew nothing.

This made him feel deeply worried about the future of the bear country.

And this worry lasted until one day.

The extremely special meteorite material immediately put all the so-called worries behind it, and the collection and study of this material has become a matter of urgency for informed countries all over the world.

It was only after taking action that he discovered that the three forces of Huaguo, Mi and Europa were quietly at the forefront of all countries.

Most of the meteorite material was collected by them early.

After that, there was no struggle between the three major powers, and they tacitly divided their own territory and did not go to the places occupied by others to grab them.

It's as if this kind of cross-generational thing is not very attractive to them.

That rice country is even more well-behaved, not at all like the country that stirred up the wind and rain for oil, and it is clear that the value of this meteorite material is even more than oil.

This made Detling understand.

Those three countries must know something!

This made Detling think deeply.

And while he was busy collecting meteorite materials and pondering, two familiar faces had a secret meeting with him with a small group of people.

Or not so much a secret meeting as a pull him in.

Zhang Shouquan and Han Sen, two bigwigs in the field of intelligence and national security, came to him on behalf of their respective countries.

Some of the information that had puzzled Detling was suddenly solved.

He originally guessed that the current strange world situation was because Huaguo, Mi Guo, and Europa had reached some evil py deal behind the scenes, and secretly threw off the rest of the world and wore a pair of pants.

Although he himself felt that this speculation was very nonsense, it was really too difficult for the three forces to be like this between them.

But apart from this speculation, he really didn't know why.

Now after knowing the truth.

Others are stupid.

It turns out that this is the case?

In this world, there is really an ancient, mysterious and extraordinary organization hidden behind the history of mankind.

It's like an impassable behemoth.

Just a little bit of the shadow cast by the body completely shrouded the whole of humanity in its shadow.

The three big countries with complicated relations, because of the existence of this organization, sit in a row and eat fruits, and they are not well-behaved like superpowers.

The courage of the hairy bear man made Detling want to complain about the three big countries in their hearts.

But when he saw the video of the man who broke the meteorite with one punch, he silently swallowed all the words back.

Good from the heart, good from the heart.

And such a truth.

It also made him confused and silent.

Good fellow, he doesn't know all the superpowers, does he?

The feeling of bewilderment, shock, and confusion made Detling always feel that it was an April Fool's joke.

But the two acquaintances brought with them a lot of evidence, which Detling could discern and indeed prove what the two men claimed.

So......

The transcendent really exists!

Behind the history of mankind, there is indeed a mysterious and ancient behemoth.

So, the next step is to collaborate.

The right to enter the moon mining, a simplified version of the spiritual practice. The temptation of these two things was so tempting that Detling was hard to refuse.

Therefore, Xiongguo joined the alliance of Huaguo and Europa for the moon landing.

After that, the United States also heard the news and reluctantly joined the moon landing alliance, after all, the United States did not dare to bet that it must be faster than the moon landing speed of the three countries.

Next, a large number of people and countless resources were mobilized.

The four-nation joint moon landing program is in full swing, and the related progress is rising.

For this lunar mining plan, in addition to the rapid construction of rockets and mining vehicles, countries have begun to take the first step of exploration.

Lunar exploration satellites such as the Queqiao-1 lunar exploration satellite, Artemis-2 lunar exploration satellite, and Mani lunar exploration satellite have begun preliminary data observations.

First, the possible landing points of most of the meteorite fragments were determined based on previous observations, and then these lunar exploration satellites were manipulated to reach specific coordinates for observation.

If the observation accuracy is not enough, there are still some lunar exploration rovers waiting to be mobilized at any time.

Then, the professional technical team calculates and evaluates the mining difficulty, and gives the plan that the lunar mining vehicle can do.

This kind of work is advancing rapidly, because of the cooperation of a large number of professionals and AI, the mining plan is already being made at the site where the meteorite material with a large stock has fallen.

……

In the project team responsible for controlling the machine for observation and data analysis, Tom and Jerry are looking helpless with dark circles under their eyes.

Because they were the first to discover the image of the meteorite being shattered, they should have signed a confidentiality agreement and then went to live in a sparsely populated area for a while.

Tom was happy to accept it, he didn't want to get involved in all that mess.

In fact, they were indeed sent to a small town in the western region, where they temporarily took up a position in the secret department.

Tom had also wanted to take Jerry, an intern, to meet the world and try the wild cowboy of the West.

But that day, when the NASA administrator made a video call with a malicious smile, he knew that his good days with Jerry were over.

Gone are the days when staying in this remote area was almost equivalent to paid leave.

The two were freed from secrecy and sent to the moon landing program to become members of the observation and data analysis project team.

In terms of the importance of this project, the intensity of the work for all is quite significant.

Although there is a large amount of salary and welfare compensation.

Although there are a large number of talents in shifts.

But even Jerry, who likes to work, feels like he's about to fall apart at the moment.

Maybe...... In the future, I should really learn from Tom's predecessor's work attitude at NASA.

There's so much work that it's really hard to be happy.

Sure enough, rotten is the king!

Looking at the picture from the lunar exploration rover in front of him, Jerry couldn't help but think about it.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he stopped thinking nonsense.

Not far in front of the lunar exploration rover he is responsible for is the site of the fall of meteorite material, which he should have come here for specific topographic analysis and data exploration.

After all, the specific terrain cannot completely rely on the accuracy of the lunar exploration satellite, otherwise it will definitely be difficult for mining vehicles to carry out their work in the future.

In addition, near the south pole of the moon, there is the largest Bailey crater on the moon, with a diameter of 295 kilometers, and the terrain is very special.

In this case, it is even more necessary for the lunar exploration rover to explore more carefully at close range.

However, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the camera in front of the lunar exploration vehicle.

In that direction is a huge crater.

Meteorite fragments are just below the foot of Bailey's crater in front of the lunar rover.

What caught Jerry's attention was the barrier that confronted his Bailey crater.

Beneath the gray lunar soil of the cliff face, a small piece of luminous black unknown material was revealed.

"Is it debris of meteorite material?"

Jerry couldn't help but speculate.

However, the observation accuracy of the lunar exploration rover is of little use at this distance, and Jerry decisively chooses to apply to his superiors for close exploration.

After all, this is a lunar exploration rover, not a small toy at home, and this kind of unplanned action still needs to be approved by superiors.

On the grounds that the meteorite fragments had struck the outer side wall of Bailey Crater, leaving some of its own material on it, Jerry quickly succeeded in applying for permission to explore closer.

So he skillfully manipulated the lunar exploration rover to temporarily ignore the meteorite not far away, and went straight to the huge Bailey crater.

The crater is the most significant geomorphological feature on the lunar surface. The moon's multitude of overlapping craters resembles a volcanic crater on Earth, with a circular flat land in the center and a ring of uplifted mountains on the periphery, with steep inner walls and gentle outer slopes.

The rover went up the gentle outer slope.

It didn't take long for it to get closer to the shiny black substance it had seen earlier at the foot of the crater.

At this distance, the abruptness of the shiny black substance can already be clearly seen.

I saw that a large chunk of the lunar soil here had disappeared, revealing a bright black color that was completely different from the surroundings.

Jerry continues to steer the lunar probe closer.

When he finally arrived at the side of the shiny black substance, he couldn't help but freeze in place when he saw the image.

This shiny black substance appears to be in perfect harmony, creating a stark contrast and contrast with the barren and dilapidated lunar soil that surrounds it.

It definitely doesn't look like the material left behind by a meteorite hitting it.

The lunar soil on the surrounding cliff walls was one layer higher than the shiny black material, and the robotic arm that controlled the lunar exploration rover tore off a piece of lunar soil full of cracks on the lower edge, revealing the same shiny black material.

Jerry's eyes widened at this.

There was a speculation in my mind.

It appears to be a glossy black crust of the lunar soil, which was revealed to have been shattered by fragments of a meteorite that had fallen earlier.

Perhaps, this entire Bailey crater is surrounded by this bright black substance.

"Is this bright black material the form of lunar soil that has been melted and cooled by a meteorite impact? But it's too smooth and smooth. ”

Jerry couldn't help but speculate.

But he soon denied this speculation himself.

The cause of the formation of the crater is believed to be the crater smashed by meteorites.

So Jerry guessed that the smashed material was melted instantaneously and sputtered around, and then quickly cooled and shaped into a ring? After that, the lunar soil and dust accumulated over time, and a shell was placed on the outside.

But that doesn't make sense.

Why is this glossy black unknown substance so smooth? Make level?

It's as if it's artificial......

But his intuition made him think that the man-made might be a little too terrifying, this is a huge crater with a diameter of 295 kilometers?

Now it is said that it is man-made, and it is usually seen that it is just a layer of shell accumulated on the lunar soil dust, which is too scary.

Who could build such a project on the moon?

It's completely impossible! Unless those people have some supernatural powers......

Thinking of this, Jerry suddenly paused.

His eyes flashed with shock, silence, and disbelief for a moment.

Speaking of the supernatural, he witnessed a fierce man with a hammer meteorite some time ago!

Could it be said?

"Sample first."

Jerry muttered.

He decided to take some samples and bring them back first, and then he said, what exactly is this, what is the specific cause, as long as he waits for the sampling results to come out, then he will probably be able to figure it all out......

"Bang"

The sound of cracking interrupted Jerry's thoughts.

This is not a real cracking sound, after all, there is no air on the moon. But when Jerry saw the picture in front of him, he couldn't help but imagine it.

The moment the sampling tool touched the glossy black substance, a golden streak flashed on the contact point on the glossy black substance.

Then, the sampling tool suddenly broke.

This can be called the most high-tech probe on the entire lunar exploration vehicle, and it was scrapped.

However, such losses are not the focus of Jerry at the moment.

Recalling the flash of golden patterns, Jerry was sure that it was a meaningful pattern, definitely a sun pattern drawn by intelligent beings.

In this case, it is highly likely that this is a structure of shiny black material as large as the Bailey crater with a diameter of 295 kilometers......

Is it really a creature of intelligence?

That intelligent creature is an alien? Or the colleague of the meteorite-smashing man?

And what does this giant ring structure do?

Doubts kept welling up in Jerry's heart.
